He worked his butt off the last 2 weeks to get those 3 pullups in and he did it! His mother and I are very proud of him and his accomplishment!! Try to post a link to his Ceremony.

Kurtis is the one on the right.

I am still confident of this;
I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27

Congratulations! He couldn't be in a finer establishment. The USMC is the best of the best, and the last remaining incarnation of what America should be based on. IMHO. We didn't get where we are(were?) by being thoughtful and considerate, we got here by whipping the crap out of whomever deemed to mess with us. We have forgotten that as a whole, but that's a topic for another section. God bless and keep him safe. I am honored to have him join in service to our country.

I had the pleasure of meeting this young MAN and Todd earlier this year. As a former Army recruiter and career Soldier I can tell you that he volunteered to serve--when 98% of his peers would never consider such a thing! It is a noble and honorable calling to be a warrior. Thank you Kurtis; and thank you Todd for trusting your military and country with your son. I pray we do you both well.

He ships out on Jan. 10. He wanted to go sooner but was the first opening.
Thank you all for your kind words and will let him know of your comments. Thanks again Todd, Lisa and Kurtis

Todd & Lisa - congratulations on raising a son who is willing to stand up to defend our country and ideals. Diane and I often recall our visit with you - usually when I read her one of your posts! Take care. And God speed to Kurtis.
